Do you know the .vscode/tasks.json file? You can add it to your project, and [@vscode](https://programming.dev/c/vscode) will run your configured commands automatically when you open the project ✨ I use this for the Inertia Table so it starts the web server and Vite without me having to open terminals for them 👌 [\#Laravel](https://mastodon.social/tags/Laravel) [#PHP](https://mastodon.social/tags/PHP) [#JS](https://mastodon.social/tags/JS) [#coding](https://mastodon.social/tags/coding)

Here is how you can add a simple action to open a folder in VSCodium within Nemo file manager. 1. Create a new file in `~/.local/share/nemo/actions/` and name the file `vscodium.nemo_action` 2. Open the file in a text editor 3. Copy the code below into the file ``` [Nemo Action] Name=Open in VSCodium Comment=Open VSCodium in the selected folder Exec=codium %F Icon-Name=vscodium Selection=Any Extensions=dir; ``` 4. Save the changes made to the file 5. Now when you right click inside a folder in Nemo, it will show an option "Open in VSCodium" and when you click this option, it will launch VSCodium using the currently directory as the workspace. This can be modified to work with Visual Studio Code (Which is closed source unlike VSCodium) by editing `codium %F` to `code %F`

I need to be able to see the difference between the current working file and the previous commit as I am editing the file. The only history plugins I can find either use pop-ups (which disappear when I start typing) or a dedicated diff-view which takes up too much space on my small monitor.

I am an intermediate VSC user, and have a problem with commands that are too close to each other in the right-click context menu for the SFTP. I constantly click something other than the top one marked here. It causes a mess that's easy enough to clean up but it's annoying. Any suggestions here?

Maybe this is just an issue with my inability to format code effectively or maybe I'm just undiagnosed dyslexic (Open Dyslexic really does help me) but I have issues with my functions running together when I'm writing for more than five minutes. Is there an addon for VS Code that would highlight the background of my function bodies with different colors? I know that this is oddly specific, but I think this would really help. If it's language specific, I spend most of my time writing Go.

i hadn't fired up my python project in an age, probably two vscodium updates. when i did, i had no more syntax checking and the alert window showed errors reaching the 'jedi' server. [downgrading the vscode-python extension to 2023.16.0](https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-python/issues/22176#issuecomment-1754688996) was seen as the surefire way to clear this. it worked for me, too - got my syntax error highlighting back and no pesky errors in the alert pane. they created a [new issue](https://github.com/open-vsx/publish-extensions/issues/714) against the extension, or the packaging system, or something, which was closed immediately though the problem still persisted. the chatter was about a cache, somewhere, with a lot of 'perhaps' and 'if'. one day i'll try bumping this back up, maybe after vscode-python passes the problematic 2023.18.0 version.

I was just thinking that sometimes I avoid breaking functions in a file into multiple modules because I don't want to deal with the hassle of switching files. One way to remove that hassle would be to have a way to view all the files in a folder in a single tab with each file appended to the list, so I could scroll through or search all of them in the same tab. Does VS Code already have an extension like this? If not, is the VS Code extension system flexible enough to implement this feature?
Hi everyone, I'm trying to try out F# via FSI in VS Code (Windows 10) I have Ionide for F# installed, and have used it before, but now every time I try to start it I get a message "FSI :Start resulted in an error", it goes on to helpfully report "the option has no value". dotnet is in path, dotnet works great. FSI? nothing. I also have the .net workload installed for visual studio 2022 (if that matters). I started up my Linux VM (KDE Neon) fired up vs codium and tried FSI Start...same error! So no tinkering in f# for me tonight. Does anyone have an idea what's happening, across two environments? Google is no help...

Early last year, I forked a project that had gone idle. I did a couple of updates to make it work with the new version of VSCode, and released it on both marketplaces. It has a few downloads, and no one has yelled at me yet, so I'm not the only one that uses it I guess. I want to update it with some newer packages out there, updated security versions, and other bits such as the move from vscode-test to @vscode/test-electron, but I'm hitting a block (in not knowing JS/TS very well, most of my 30 years has been with C#, Perl, PHP, SQL, etc.), and I was wondering if anyone had an article or suggestion on documentation how to make that move. Or am I just starting over with "how to set up test-electron from scratch" and redoing all the tests? :) (that was _not_ my hope for a quick update turn around, but if that is what has to happen...) edit: a phrase
Hi, does anyone know how to accomplish this? So far my workaround has been wrapping them in pre tags. Thanks in advance!
Hi, I want to replace string in many files, but I the "replace all" feature trigger the formatting hook on save. I do not want this behavior. There is an option similar to "save without formatting", but for "replace all" ? Thanks

Here's an upcoming feature for those wanting to use multiple profiles in VSCode but don't enjoying micro managing settings across many different profiles. And good news: This feature is currently being developed! The feature request is [Extend from the Default Profile](https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/156144). The idea is to allow users to organize settings into various layers. Global settings in the `default` profile. Maybe python specific settings in a `python` profile. And then golang specific settings in a `golang` profile. Or however else you want to organize things! This will be a huge help when working with many different workspaces and languages which all need little adjustments. This idea actually dates back all the way to [November, 2016](https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/15909)! While it has nearly 600 votes, nobody implemented the feature. Thankfully, the new feature (again, [issue 156144](https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/156144) was requested about a year ago and was actually a part of the [Iteration Plan for June 2023](https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/184844). Unfortunately, it wasn't completed in time (that's ok! Thanks devs!) and was pushed to the [July 2023](https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/milestone/233) iteration. Hopefully, we'll have this feature released soon. If you're as excited as I am for this one, then vote for the feature with a thumbs up.  Yes, it's already in development but votes can make this feature a priority. You can also vote for [specific implementation details](https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/156144#issuecomment-1603993616) too!
